Abstract Objective To investigate the effects of seasonal and climatic changes on postoperative in-hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS) in patients with type A acute aortic dissection (AAD). Methods Patients undergoing implantation of the modified triple-branched stent graft to replace the descending aorta in addition to aortic root reconstruction for type A AAD in our hospital from January 2016 to December 2019 were included. Relevant data were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Results A total of 404 patients were included in our analyses. The multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that patients admitted in autumn (OR 4.027, 95% CI 1.023–17.301, P = 0.039) or with coronary heart disease (OR 8.938, 95% CI 1.991–29.560, P = 0.049) were independently associated with an increased risk of postoperative in-hospital mortality. Furthermore, patients admitted in autumn (OR 5.956, 95% CI 2.719–7.921, P = 0.041) or with hypertension (OR 3.486, 95% CI 1.192–5.106, P = 0.035) were independently associated with an increased risk of longer LOS. Conclusion Patients admitted in autumn or with coronary heart disease are at higher risk of in-hospital mortality following surgery for type A AAD. Also, patients admitted in autumn or with hypertension have a longer hospital LOS. In the autumn of the temperature transition, we may need to strengthen the management of medical quality after surgery for type A AAD.

Abstract Objective: To investigated the effects of seasonal and climatic changes on in-hospital mortality and length of stay (LOS) for postoperative patients with type A acute aortic dissection (AAD). Methods: The clinical data of 404 patients diagnosed with type A AAD in our hospital and the relevant meteorological data were retrospectively collected and analyzed from January 2016 to December 2019. Results: The multivariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that admission in autumn (OR=4.027, 95% CI=1.023-17.301) and coronary heart disease (odds ratio OR=7.669, 95% CI=1.20-48.689) were increased risk factors for postoperative in-hospital mortality in patients with type A AAD; admission in autumn (95% CI=2.719-7.921, P=0.041) and hypertension (95% CI=1.192-5.106, P=0.035) for type A AAD patients were increased risk factors for LOS. Conclusion: Patients with admission in autumn or coronary heart disease appeared to increasing effects on postoperative in-hospital mortality for type A AAD. Patients with admission in autumn or hypertension seemed to be associated with longer LOS.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (type AAD) in non-agenarians is usually contraindicated due to advanced age. The aim of this study was to assess and compare outcomes after surgical or conservative treatment for acute type AAD in non-agenarians by evaluating frailty. METHODS Between October 2012 and September 2018, 273 patients underwent open repair for type AAD at the Shonan Kamakura General Hospital and the Shonan Fujisawa Tokushukai Hospital, and here, we retrospectively reviewed the case reports of 10 surgically treated non-agenarians and 15 conservatively treated non-agenarians. Exclusion criteria for surgery were the patient’s refusal of surgery, severe dementia and coma. In patients considered to be at a high risk, our judgements were based on the results of comprehensive evaluation. RESULTS Both in-hospital mortality and 30-day mortality in the surgical group were zero, while in-hospital mortality in conservatively treated non-agenarians was 73.3%. Importantly, 1-year survival in the surgical group and conservative group was 90% and 25%, respectively. The 5-year survival in the surgical group and conservative group was 49.2% and 25%, respectively (log-rank test, P = 0.0105). Four of 6 patients with preoperative clinical frailty scores not higher than 4 were still alive at 1 year with the same level of preoperative frailty. CONCLUSIONS Surgery for acute type AAD in non-agenarians can be performed with acceptable outcomes in carefully selected patients, particularly in those with preoperative clinical frailty scores not higher than 4.

Aortic dissection is a relatively rare yet often fatal condition. Early recognition and treatment are crucial for survival. While the majority of patients who present with aortic dissection are older than 50 years of age and have a history of hypertension, younger patients with connective tissue disease, bicuspid aortic valves, and a family history of aortic dissection are also at an increased risk for developing this condition. A review of the literature revealed a paucity of published cases describing the successful, emergent repair of acute type A aortic dissections in third- trimester gravid patients. We present the case of the successful diagnosis and surgical repair of a 41-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with an acute type A aortic dissection at 36 weeks of gestation.
